RV Camping; Tips, tricks & repairs

[ExtraSlow]

I run ~30 L/100km. Beat that.

Best way to get better mileage, is to just slow down. I get considerably better economy driving 100km/h, rather than 120.

Could just add some performance parts to that truck.... A Tune and LT Headers helped my mileage while towing.
I'm around 22L/100km with an older 22ft trailer, 2 dirt bikes in the truck.

R-Pod seems like a decent option, by why do people stick a fucking microwave in these things instead of a full size fridge.. i want beer space, not microwaved popcorn

Do your neighbours in Aspen know that your trailer doesn't even a washer and dryer?

[Brent.ff]

What if they knew it didnt have captain chairs?


Back slightly on topic, whats a fair rate for a bearing repack for a 2-axle? Trailer wont fit in garage so cant do it myself

[ExtraSlow]

It's not difficult, just takes time. 2 hours labor at $150/hr plus $50 in supplies?

Most places just have a set price for it these days.

Canadian Leisure RV charges $170 for one axle.

My guess wasn't far off!

Going to re-do my roof sealant.. do i bother removing the old stuff before putting on Dicor?

[ExtraSlow]

If it comes up easily. Remove it, if not, layer new dicor around problem areas. Can use eternabond tape on seam areas where you have more concerns.

Get ready for winterizing guys. Dehumidifer packages from teh dollar store. I get these at Dollarama:


Also got a recall notice from Honda for my generator. Good timing, as I have electrical hookup for my last trip of the year, so I won't need this until spring.

[Tik-Tok]

I still find it odd since of you think those are necessary in our dry-as-a-popcorn-fart prairie winters.

[ExtraSlow]

Agree, probably overkill, especially if you can leave a window or vent cracked. I use em and feel okay about life.

My small trailer would have condensation like crazy every morning. Worse if I had the furnace on.

[Brent.ff]

Big difference between parked and being used with heater on?

We're taking about storing for the winter though.
